Advice Surgeries

I hold regular advice surgeries in the constituency. The surgeries are always very busy and so have to be limited to 15 minutes per appointment. If you make an appointment and then find you are unable to attend, please call the office as soon as possible to let us know. We will then be able to offer the appointment to someone else.

I hope you will understand that the purpose of an advice surgery is to allow constituents to see me who have problems and need practical help. They are not for people to come and discuss politics or to ask for my opinion on a particular issue - this can be done in writing or by email. As I am only in the constituency each Friday when the House is sitting, advice surgery appointments will only be given to people who need my assistance.

Please telephone for an appointment to see me on 01254 382283.

The surgeries begin at 10.00amand are held at 50 Abbey Street, Accrington unless indicated otherwise below.
